waffle house have security cameras that can identify those teens and put them on the 5 o'clock news. i'm not a cop so i'll be a good witness once the good guys come. can i have a refill on my coffee please.....

[ctsketch]

Besides notifying and witnessing it...i'm not doing anything else. This is a nonviolent crime and doesn't even involve property damage.

This is one of those things that wouldn't even hit my radar. I might point out to the server what's going on. I might write down the license plate if I could see it from where I was sitting. I'm not getting out of my chair. In fact, I'm still eating.

They're stealing waffles, for crying out loud.

Ditto.

Waffles don't rate a whoop azz. Notify and keep on eating.


Cold waffles are nasty.

Pass the syrup.

While I may notice that the teens left without just compesation to the proprietor, I'm busy eating. Pass the butter and the syrup please.

None of my business. I may tell the waitress but after that.....

[bladenbullet]

draw and fire...multiple hits on all of the non paying teens...for being stupid enough to eat at the waffle house instead of someplace with premium food if they are not going to pay...if youre gnna rob a restaurant rob a good and expensive one for gods sake!..(the preceding was a joke for those whos pants are a bit too tight today)...

what the heck business of mine is it if a couple of kids decide not to pay their bill at the waffle house?...

[Hiram25]

I'm going to possibly die for a $25.00 waffle bill? I don't think so!

I would get the tag number of the vehicle if I could see if from my seat, and let the management of the waffle house know about it.

YOU GUYS DONT GET IT!!! ITS A CHICKEN AND WAFFLE ESTABLISHMENT!?!?!?!? AND YOU LET THOSE BAD KIDS WHO DESERVED TO GET PUMPED WITH LED AWAY?!?!?! WHAT IS ARONG WITH THIS WORLD!>!>!>!>!>!!!>!>!

Flash your CCW badge and yell "Citizens Arrest" with your best Gomer Pyle accent!!

[carryad]

I am doing absolutely nothing in this incident, despite the fact that these kids are probably due for a good tuneup to get them in check. I'm not gonna start a possibly violent confrontation over someone not paying $20. Sounds like this guy was overly eager to play cop for a day.

In the words of the 911 dispatcher:

“Now do what now,”

Like others have said. Be a good witness. Get a plate number if I can see it. Finish breakfast.
